I'm about to finish my rebuild and here is the setup I will now use:

r32 block.

1,1mm mhg

pistons JE 87mm

eagle h beam

ACL RACE (calico coated) bearings

cranckshaft full polished and balanced ,with longer oil pump drive collar

n1 oil pump

OS GIKEN TB2 twin plates clutch and flywheel

stock ECU mapped by myself

full stock head

n1 water pump

Turbo IHI RHC7 with T04R turbine housing

6 runners manifold

Z32 AFMX2

800cc injectors

greddy timing belt

adjustable pulleys

twin 255lph pumps

Basically, it's a fully forged block (I'm planning for 500/600bhp) and stock head (aiming for perfect idle, perfect engine start, low consumption when cruising and good driveability when off boost).

So my question is, what max RPM can I run with this setup?

I suppose stock valvetrain will be the limiting factor but dont know when the limit will happend.

Thanks

GTR head?

8000rpm should be fine, everyone else sits there no problem :)

However you've made no mention of giving the head any attention/freshen up. This could be a problem.

So you might have issues, you might not. 15+yr old head - It's just a case of suck it and see really mate.

You also make no mention of ARP rod bolts (or similar), something i would be thinking about RPM wise would be stock rod bolts (if you've not used upgraded ones).

+1 for making sure the cyl head is freshened up properly, springs are checked for fatigue, valve guides arent too worn and valves are seating correctly and valves are shimmed to correct clearances

hmm pretty sure those eagle rods come with arp 2000 rod bolts

my unopened rb26 sees 7500rpm+ everyday, my rev limit is at 8000rpm, if i do hit it its for a split second anyways, shes still running flawlessly :)

i dont see why you cant run more but theres no point in revving it any higher than 8000rpm if ur power and torque is dropping off before this, just dont bash limiter ;)

Running Eagle rods Ash, come standard with ARP2000's

Stock head except springs, built motor, 9500rpm no problems.

Only ever used it to about 8500rpm though, no point in the extra loading on rotating assembly when it's already spinning all the wheels...

Oops, that was a stock head that had been reco'd

Used to sound awesome getting it's neck ringed

Looks like I will shift at 8000RPM (if there is still power at that rev) and set the limiter at 8200RPM

Thanks everybody

From what I gather your ports and valves are also the stock size/design? Just wondering @ 455kw is all.

To OP, +1 for springs. This would be the weak spot in the head for a few extra rpm.

Yes, stock ports and stock valves. 455kw would be OK for me. Not sure the turbo can build more anyway.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
